Asian Eyelid Surgery – Double Eyelid Surgery in Austin
Approximately 50% of people of East Asian descent are born with eyelids that have either a partial pretarsal crease or no crease at all. This type of eyelid, which is often called a monolid, doesn’t always create cosmetic or functional problems; however, in some cases, they can lead to or eye irritation from lashes or obstructed vision, particularly in older people. Asian blepharoplasty, also known as double eyelid surgery or asian eyelid surgery, is designed to create a crease in the upper eyelid to meet patients’ cosmetic preferences and improve clarity in patient’s line of vision.

About Asian Blepharoplasty
With the aging process, the delicate skin around the eyes becomes weak and begins to sag. This process can create a loss of peripheral vision in people of all ethnic backgrounds, but those with monolids are especially susceptible to eyelid ptosis. Monolids generally contain heavy-appearing upper eyelid fat deposits and excess eyelid skin that can droop over time, shielding the outer corners of the eyes and partially covering the iris. Asian blepharoplasty is used to elevate the upper eyelids, remove fatty tissue, and create an eyelid crease — a process that restores the patient’s full field of vision while making them look more youthful and vibrant.

When is the Right Time for Eyelid Surgery?
Sometimes, younger people choose to have Asian double eyelid surgery for reasons of personal aesthetic preference, rather than eyelid function. Forming an eyelid crease can open the eyes and make the upper eyelashes more visible; many people also report that cosmetics are much easier to apply after having double eyelid surgery. Asian blepharoplasty is an excellent choice for younger patients who have excess fat above and below their eyes. This procedure can significantly reduce puffiness around the eyes and eliminate under-eye bags.
